Inheritance in itself does not require more memory !
Only virtual methods require vtables and so take more memory and slowdown
the program

I'm agree C++ was designed to provide zero-overhead, i.e. you pay for any
expensive C++-feature only if you realy use this feature.
But we can't know what is the quality of Metrowerks compiler :-(
